…
However, it would be different if Sheng Changquan took action in this matter!
First, if Sheng Changquan does not take action, then among the Sheng family, only Mrs. Sheng can take action herself.
After all, at this time, Sheng Hong, Sheng Changbai, Sheng Changfeng and others were not in Youyang, and the only one who was qualified to come forward was Mrs. Sheng, who had the imperial decree.
However, once Old Mrs. Sheng takes action, she will inevitably have the intention of bullying the small and using her power to bully others. In the eyes of Master Xuezheng, there may even be some hint of the powerful oppressing the common people.
Although this can solve the Sun family's problem, it may also have some impact on the Sheng family's reputation, but it is not advisable.
Therefore, it is safest for Sheng Changquan to take action now.
Moreover, from another aspect, Sheng Changquan and Sun Zhigao are both talented people, and the conflicts between them are just disputes between peers. In the eyes of the academic masters, there is no such thing as bullying the younger ones. Taste it.
There was even a possibility that it was the other way around, that Sun Zhigao was bullying Sheng Changquan.
After all, Sheng Changquan is younger than Sun Zhigao!
…
(Refreshed in ten minutes, because I was summoned to the company today...)
…
What's more, to be fair, the truth is on Sheng Changquan's side.
Sun Zhigao was vulgar and had no personal ethics. Not only was his words and deeds unsatisfactory and he lacked any gentlemanly demeanor, but more importantly, he was also violent and liked to abuse his wife and do violence to her.
Although the court laws did not clearly stipulate the punishment for domestic violence against men, as his brother-in-law, it was very reasonable for Sheng Changquan to take such revenge.
After all, it is the character of a scholar to retaliate directly!
Speaking of which, although the current Confucianism has some Neo-Confucianism flavor, it also contains some concepts of the previous Gongyang School, especially the allusion that a gentleman can still avenge his tenth life, which is even more popular. !
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many ministers in the court who want to regain Yanzhou!
In their eyes, this Liang Kingdom is the "revenge that can be avenged in ten lifetimes" of this dynasty!
Then again, there is another benefit that comes from Sheng Changquan, and this benefit is something that no one else can have.
Because Sheng Changquan is Sheng Hong's junior Sanyuan who has taken over three cases in a row. This identity, in the eyes of Xuezheng and others, is extremely outstanding. In fact, this is his most advantageous point in this matter!
As mentioned before, most of the officials in the academic and political circles are upright and honest civil servants. They are neither money-loving nor lustful, and they are a rare group of upright people.
For this kind of people, their pleasure does not lie in food, clothing, or even any other kind of material enjoyment. Their happiness lies in the scriptures and meanings and the thoughts of the sages.
However, no one is perfect.
Although they don't care about material enjoyment, they will inevitably care about some spiritual benefits.
Such as reputation, prestige, etc...
Therefore, when they are studying and serving as officials, they like to support some talented juniors so that they can display their ambitions and make greater contributions to the country and the people.
Of course, to say that they support the younger generation just to make themselves famous is to really wrong them.
After all, the reason why they did this was mostly out of appreciation for their talents.
Getting famous is just incidental.
Therefore, if Sheng Changquan takes action, it will definitely be the best choice for the Sheng family to file a lawsuit this time.
…
"Um!"
Old Mrs. Sheng did not criticize Sheng Changquan's Spring and Autumn style of writing. She just nodded and signaled to the eldest lady and the others: "Quan'er is right."
"Once this matter is reported, Sun Zhigao will definitely face punishment from the court."
"It's even possible to gain the reputation of a scholar like him!"
Mrs. Sheng's words were full of affirmation.
"Yeah?"
At this time, the eldest lady, Sheng Wei, and Li were all silent. They were just thinking quietly, weighing the pros and cons. But Pinlan on the other side, her eyes lit up after hearing this. !
"Hey!"
"It would be great if we could really beat him to the end!"
After hearing what Mrs. Sheng said, Pinlan immediately showed a look of unfinished expression.
"At that time, what ability does the Sun family have to dare to look down on our Sheng family?"
Recalling every detail of her interactions with the Sun family over the years, Pinlan became more and more secretly annoyed.
"hateful!"
"Why didn't I notice the other party's ugly face before?"
In fact, before today, although Pinlan said she hated the Sun family, she really didn't know the Sun family's dislike of the Sheng family.
In her eyes, because the Sun family relies on the Sheng family's money to live, the Sun family is naturally far inferior to the Sheng family. What right does the other party have to hate their family?
Where does the Sun family get their confidence?
However, after listening to the words of several elders today, Pinlan realized belatedly that the other party despised her because of his status as a scholar.
Regarding this point, even though Pinlan wanted to say something, in the end she had nothing to say!
After all, the Sun family really surpassed the Sheng family in terms of political status.
"snort!"
Pinlan wrinkled her nose and looked unhappy: "Forget it, I don't want to think about this anymore!"
"If Sun Zhigao really loses his reputation as a scholar and loses the support of our family, then what good will their family's poor settlement be?"
"From now on, as long as they can survive, it will be considered an extra mercy from God!"
"How proud will their family be in the future?"
Thinking of this, Pinlan suddenly became happy, and the expression on his face was a little distorted, like a Japanese "idiot"!
"Pin...Sister Pinlan?"
Stunned by Pinlan's strange look, Minglan quickly patted her shoulder gently and asked worriedly: "Sister Pinlan, are you...are you okay?"
Because Shulan was really aggrieved by this incident, Minglan was also worried about whether this would make Pinlan, who had always been straightforward, suffer from hysteria.
In Sheng Changquan's words, it means some kind of mental illness has occurred, such as dislike of marriage...
"Hahaha!"
"I...what can happen to me?"
Simply put, in addition to being straightforward, Pinlan also has a very nervous quality. Therefore, after hearing Minglan's question, she immediately shook her head and denied it: "Minglan, don't worry, I'm fine." !”
Pinlan smiled awkwardly at Minglan and just tried to cover up the matter, but she did not intend to say what she had just thought of.
She has decided that after her sister's matter is settled, she will find someone to keep an eye on the situation of the Sun family. She wants to see how the Sun family will fare without Sister Shulan. ?
…
No one paid attention to the conversation between the little sisters here. Even Sheng Changquan turned his attention to the heads of the family on the other side.
After hearing what Mrs. Sheng said, Sheng Wei's face was happy at first, then paused, and then he suddenly frowned and thought carefully for a while.
a long time.
"Second Aunt, what's this about?"
"...Do you really need to go that far?"
Sheng Wei's expression was a little solemn, as if he was worried about this.
"If this matter is brought to the attention of Master Xuezheng, then this matter in our family will become a big deal!"
Sheng Wei lowered his voice and whispered: "By then, our Sheng family's reputation will be on the line..."
"Weier, don't worry!"
Mrs. Sheng was not surprised by Sheng Wei's doubts: "I have already considered this matter."
Old Mrs. Sheng's speech was still so unhurried, unhurried and full of calmness.
"I wouldn't have chosen to go to this point if I didn't have to."
In fact, Mrs. Sheng had really thought about what Sheng Wei was worried about.
If Shulan's incident becomes a big issue, it will definitely cause a storm in the Youyang land, and everyone in the Youyang land will know that there is a harmonious girl in the Sheng family.
Although it is impossible to keep Shulan's matter secret forever, for the Sheng family at present, they should try not to make it public if they can.
After all, although the fault of the two and their separation lies with the Sun family, the world will always treat women harshly. Therefore, Shulan at that time will inevitably have to face more rumors, making the pressure she endures also increase. will become bigger.
In that case, if one mistake is made, it is very likely that she will be forced to go to a dead end!
Therefore, although Sheng Wei and Mrs. Sheng have different focuses on this matter, they have reached a consensus - that is, it is best not to make this matter public.
"actually!"
"The method I mentioned is just an explanation for the Sun family!"
Old Mrs. Sheng turned her head and explained in detail to the eldest lady: "No matter what, these words must be told to the other party from the very beginning, so that the Sun family knows that our family is not unable to deal with him, but It’s just that I don’t want to!”
"As for the first thing, let's try our best to use some gentle methods!"
"Let's see if the Sun family is willing to let Shulan go!"
Obviously, what Mrs. Sheng meant was that if the gentle method was useless, then she would have to use this method in the end. Otherwise, she couldn't just watch Shulan suffer and be controlled by others.
Hearing what Mrs. Sheng said, Sheng Wei was still frowning and considering the pros and cons, but the eldest lady nodded in agreement.
"Well, that's the truth!"
The eldest lady didn't care what her son thought, she just asked: "Second brother and sister, what kind of gentle treatment should we use?"
"Could it be that you just need some money to exchange for it?"
The eldest lady didn't have any reluctance to part with the money. She was just a little worried and said: "However, I don't think the Sun family's mother and son are good friends. I'm afraid they won't agree, right?"
"Well, mother is right!"
Seeing that his mother had made a decision, Sheng Wei naturally couldn't refuse. At this time, he filled in the gaps and said: "Although Sun Zhigao has a corrupt character, I have to say that he cannot be a fool, otherwise , it is impossible for him to pass the college examination and become a scholar."
Sheng Wei sighed, feeling a little disappointed.
"Presumably, he also knows that if he just lets Shulan go, the loss to their family will be huge!"
"Not to mention that after the reconciliation, the Sun family will no longer be able to rely on our family's strength. Let's just say that when we reconcile now, they will have to lose a lot of money!"
"After all, Shulan has to get back her dowry!"
Everyone knows the virtues of the Sun family mother and son, and knows that they are greedy people. In their eyes, Shulan's dowry has already been regarded as the property of the Sun family!
If Sun Zhigao and Shulan reconcile, then they will have no legal basis to continue to occupy the money.
Speaking of which, the Sun family's motive for deliberately teasing Shulan may not be that they had no intention of seizing Shulan's dowry after her death.
"It doesn't matter!"
After hearing what Sheng Wei said, the old lady spoke.
"It's just some money on the left and right, it doesn't matter!"
The eldest lady is very open-minded: "As long as they can let Shulan leave, then even if they leave all the dowry in the Sun family, that's not a bad idea!"
Because of her experiences in the early years, in the eyes of the eldest lady, money is not the most expensive thing in the world.
How can a Duwu, who is not brought with him in life or taken with him in death, be as good as his relatives?
"In that case, I'll leave the matter of Shulan to you, my second younger sister!"
After hearing what Mrs. Sheng said, the eldest lady also understood.
It turned out that she was the only one in the whole family who didn't know about Shulan.
After all, if Mrs. Sheng hadn't already known about Shulan, how could she have come up with such an orderly plan so quickly?
Moreover, the eldest lady recalled the expression on Mrs. Sheng's face when she told her about Shulan.
That look was clearly something that had been guessed for a long time.
Therefore, apart from the younger generations in this family, she is probably the last one to know about Shulan.
Thinking of this, the eldest lady couldn't help but glance at Sheng Wei and Li below.
"It seems that this house still needs to be tidied up!"
Seeing Mrs. Sheng's wry smile, Mrs. Sheng also nodded.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry!"
"I will take care of this girl Shulan's affairs!"
She knew that the eldest lady already knew her secret suggestion.
It's not that Mrs. Sheng insists on sowing discord and wants Mrs. Sheng to punish Sheng Wei, but she feels that Sheng Wei has gradually taken the wrong path in recent years.
Over the years, Xu has done too much business, so he has begun to weigh everything as a business. He married his daughter off in exchange for help, and turned a blind eye to his daughter's suffering in order to avoid bigger problems. Loss……
This time and again, it seems that the original intention has been forgotten.
